BLACK OPS 6 CRASH ON STARTUP

[ScoppySendwich]

STORY (If you don't care about it just look at the fixes bellow.)
I bought bo6 a few days ago on Battle.net. I tried to play it but it would crash on startup. I was confused and tried a few more times. Didn't work. I tried everything like disabling my fire wall, anticheat, running the game as admin, running it on directX11, updating and reverting all drivers, moving disks etc. Nothing online helped either So i refunded it and bought it on Steam. Same issue. After 3 days of hard work I am shocked at what the problem with me was. I was cleaning my pc of apps I don't need. Then I found reWASD which I haven't used IN YEARS. I remembered cod anticheat hates all remapping software and as soon as I uninstalled it my game worked perfect. I CAN'T express how angry I am with activison for wasting so many hours of my life for a stupid fix like this

BIG FIXES ( 2 big issues if you don't get any pop up errors when your game doesn't start )
- go to your game folder doesn't matter which launcher you use and find bootstrapper
its a text file. Open it and see what it says. If you see a message saying something like : Failed to open \??\E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty HQ\randgrid.sys. This means that the randgrid.sys isn't in the folder that's specified. So go to your game folder and copy that file and paste it in the path that the error says it's missing from ( if you need help feel free to ask for details )
- if you have any and I mean ANY remapping software like snapkey, reWASD, uninstall everything including its logs and maps.

MINOR FIXES ( can be the problem in some cases )
- try running the game as admin
- try updating all drivers and windows
- disable your antiviruses and put call of duty in firewall exceptions
- try putting the code -dx11 or -d3d11 as a launch option in battle.net, steam or game pass
- run the game in safe mode

ERROR FIX ( if you get an error message popup )
If you get a pop up when your game crashes you can comment it here and I'll help you try and fix it or maybe another kind person in the comments. I can't list a fix for every error here since there are far too many.

I HOPE I HELPED SOMEONE AND REMEMBER IT'S THE DEVELOPERS FAULT FOR MAKING SUCKS A STUPID SYSTEM

Yea I had the same thing. As I said i had an old program on my pc which the game thought was a cheat. If you don't have any other errors and you tried all of the other fixes I listed it's 99% that you have a program that black ops doesn't allow. Any overlay apps, mod apps like wemod, remapping apps like reWASD or even Feceit for cs can be preventing you from playing black ops 6. Go to control panel and find programs and apps If you have anything like that uninstall it.

That error usually means your graphics drivers need an update. If you haven't try updating your gpu and cpu even it can help. If it doesn't try updating your windows. There can sometimes be bonus windows updates which you need to do manually. If you have an old system it's also likely your gpu isn't supported.

First go into your game folder and find a file named randgrid.sys. Copy it and put it in the folder that the bootstrapper is telling you it's missing from. If you don't have the file where your game is then it went somewhere else on your pc. In that case you have to search for it in file explorer.

Update drivers and directX. If it doesn't help you can go into your gpu control panel and set scaling on gpu if it isn't already. In most cases that's the issue. It could be also that if you have an older gpu it doesn't support directX 12 so try launching the game with
-dx11 command or -d3d11

GPU drivers are up to date and do you mean Image Scaling? I'm using the Nvidia Control Panel.

My games been working all week just fine. Now all of a sudden this morning my game wont launch.

[Venus_Moon]

what do you do if the randgrid.sys file is missing, as in there isn't one anywhere in the location it says it is?

[Las Key Tu D4]

Uninstall the entire game, and download ONLY the BLACK OPS 6 files again, excluding warzone, Modern warfare multiplayer. Only BO6, solved it for me.
To select the files: Right click on the game > Properties > Additional content > Select the BO6 files > Install the game.
